OSA 3rd Annual Goalkeeper Boot Camp

Oklahoma Soccer Association will hold its 3rd annual OSA Goalkeeper Boot Camp in Oklahoma City July 28-31 and in Tulsa Aug. 4-7. The camp is for boys and girls ages 9-19 and players will be grouped by ability/gender.

Multiple techniques will be covered, from basic catching to distribution with hands and feet, to dealing with crosses and power diving and camp topics will be adjusted based on developmentally appropriate level to keep players challenged, but still safe.

Later in the week, local field players will be brought in to play some games and work on tactical awareness and reading the game- an essential part of a GK’s development.

OSA is currently finalizing the staff for the summer, but the lead staff will be:

COST: To do personal training usually costs about $50/hour. With a group of 4 or 5, will reduce to $35/person for the hour. With this camp, you get close to that level of personal instruction, at a fraction of the cost: $200 (200/16 hours = $12.50 per hour.)

GK Jersey. Even in heat, long-sleeve is preferable to protect against abrasions.

Water jug/bottle! Big one!

Sunscreen!
